Why do exercises if we can't stay in shape?


What hashing function they use?


Base62.

A case-insensitive variant is Base36:

I remember you being a Lisp programmer; it's built into CL's Format function:

  (format t "~36r" 9999) ==> 7PR


0. Because mediocre enterprise programmers can't manage complexity.

0.5. Because you can point fingers to Oracle when it crashes.

0.9. Because "No one was fired for choosing IBM".


Oh, yeah! Thanks for reminder! Time to re-read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and to watch the Bladerunner again. Immigrate or degenerate.. ^_^


btw, the most common source of high load is (surprise!) disk I/O.

So, moving a /var/log (not just /var) on separate device connected to distinct controller port is a big deal.

If you're running, say, mail server, you should separate /var/spool and /var/log and /var/db/mysql if any.

Partitioning, serious network card (think Broadcom) and big CPU caches are good things to begin with.


Broadcom on Linux?! I was under the impression that their drivers aren't too good or open source friendly.


What Java NIO server utilizes for EINTR? ^_^


LOL! This is called tuning nowadays?

Even Oracle providing much more good advices, let alone some individual pros.

Good starting point: http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10g.shtml

Update: Oh, yes, I understood. Newfags doesn't know what Oracle is. MySQL = RDBMS, I see. ^_^


It is NOT Flash based! Good news, big deal.


We don't need Scheme++ to implement .... (c) Brian Harvey, a famous CS61A teacher. ^_^


Yeah! Let's go and repeat all Windows flawed decisions!

First - the windows firewall which in no time involved into one button [ALLOW] because millions of stupid users were bombarded customer support.

Lets try to establish a privilege separation everywhere, so all users will work as administrators. Lets make code bloated and slow, only because it is a proper way of doing security.

btw, do you know, which is best security solution for Windows? The low-level full restore from a copy of just installed system form the second hard drive. Most of public PC providers are using this strategy.

So, the answer is fast, easy and idiot-prof re-flash procedure.


that's not going to bring back the copies of my contacts, private photos, passwords and banking details which have been broadcast to the internet


Leaving banking account details on a public PC is called stupidity. ^_^

You can use something as a storage of critical data, or as a runner for some garbage. Even at Microsoft they don't browse porn-sites from their servers.
